Interventions to improve access to care for abnormal uterine bleeding: A systematic scoping review.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWomen with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) experience barriers to accessing healthcare services.
objectivesTo identify and describe the evidence on interventions to improve healthcare access of women with AUB. SEARCH STRATEGY: A systematic search of databases including Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane register for clinical trials on February 26, 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies including women with AUB and investigating an intervention to improve access at the levels of individual patient, community, organization, health system, or medical education. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Data extraction and descriptive analysis of the country, study design, settings, participant characteristics, intervention, outcome measures, and key findings. MAIN
resultsWe identified 20 studies and most interventions (13 studies) targeted organizational changes. Creating a multidisciplinary team, bringing services together and developing a care pathway improved the availability of services. Management of AUB in an outpatient setting improved the affordability. The use of decision aids improved patient engagement in consultations. There is a lack of interventions at an individual or community level targeting health literacy, health beliefs, social acceptability, and opportunity to reach and pay for services.
conclusionsCommunity-based culturally-adapted interventions focusing on access to women with different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds should be investigated.
